The objectives of the research are to provide a framework for understanding how forest management influences forest resistance and resilience to drought across diverse forest ecosystems in the Klamath region. Using a combination of existing information and new field data we will assess: 1) How tree growth rate varies across a steep climatic gradient in the Klamath region; 2) the variation in growth responses to several major drought episodes in this region; and 3) how forest management, specifically prescribed fire and forest thinning, influences these growth patterns as an indicator of both forest resiliency and changes in carbon storage. The selected student will help to determine how differences in stand conditions and management history confer (or don’t confer) increased resistance and resilience to drought-induced moisture stress in terms of tree growth and carbon accumulation.

FON 3 - Fire and Smoke Model Evaluation Experiment (FASMEE)

The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP), in partnership with the Department of Defense, Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP), has completed planning for the Fire and Smoke Model Evaluation Experiment (FASMEE; Phase 1). It is anticipated that the JFSP September 2017 FON will include an open solicitation for proposals to participate in Phase 2—data collection, data archival, and initial model evaluation—of FASMEE. In brief, this experiment is being designed as a large-scale, interagency effort to (1) identify the critical measurements necessary to improve operational wildland fire and smoke prediction systems, (2) collect observations through coordinated field campaigns, and (3) use these measures and observations to advance science and modeling capabilities and utility to end users. FASMEE is aimed at modeling systems in operational use today as well as the next generation of modeling systems expected to become operationally useful in the next five to 10 years.

The FASMEE field campaigns are anticipated to be conducted as large operational prescribed fires targeting (1) heavier fuel loads and high-intensity fires, (2) large fires capable of producing significant atmospheric plume dynamics and a substantial downwind smoke plume, and (3) where possible (particularly in the West), free-running fire. Candidate sites include the Fishlake National Forest in Utah, North Kaibab Ranger District in Arizona, Fort Stewart in Georgia, and Savannah River Site in South Carolina. Research burns are planned for ignition no earlier than late summer 2019 and no later than early spring 2022. Depending on total funding availability, four or more burns are planned.
